I had a port replacement the same day as you did. Mr doc said just use extra-strength tylenol. I was expecting a Rx for pain. If you need it I would definitely call right now. everyone has different levels for pain. You should probably be resting. Do not pick up or carry anything! I has a 3 hour nap sat. and sun. I also took tylenol pm at night. Hope you feel better soon and put your feet up with a good book! sheila

How are you feeling? I am so glad you told me port replacement wasn't that bad and it wasn't!!! It's been 4 days and I resumed my walking again. Hope you get better soon! Sheila

Haven't had restriction in quite awhile. Had an x-ray and everything looked good. Dr. said fluroscopy was probably next while he was trying to do a fill. I had a lot of gurgly bubbly sounds and I knew right away what is was. so did he. put in 4cc and 3cc went out. So I will just have replacement done in his office. 45$ copay is much better than 1000$ for hospital.

Has anyone had to have port replacement? I have had my band for 5 years and must have this procedure done. thanks, sheila

Hi, thought I might be able to help you..I got lactose intolerant AFTER the band...(hahah)..anyway,,i have lactose free organic milk, very good!! and for my protein shake I have either BeneProtein, (online @ Walgreens.com) or another brand from the Natural Food Store that say's "NO LACTOSE". helps a LOT!! sheila :eek:

my doc says it might take up to two weeks to "feel" the fill... sheila
